Good morning and happy Friday to you! This has been quite a week for me. My brand new 6 month old computer caught a terrible virus that corrupted my operating system. I have been without my computer for 4 days now and am currently working off of my mini laptop. It has been a bit frustrating to say the least! I feel like I do all the right things, and yet I still got a virus! Thankfully my hubby had bought me the extended warranty and all repairs are covered!

I am sure you didn't come here to hear me grumble about the aggravations of life, so let's get to my card! : ) It uses the new set by JustRite called, Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels. What a fun little set this is! I used markers to color the image in black and red and that gave it a good "huff" to remoisten the ink. I stamped the border in black and used two sizes of the Spellbinder's Oval Medallion dies. The images were stacked with dimensional foam circles.

The paper is by My Mind's Eye/Lost And Found, which I thought was perfect for a lobster image! It gave it that "East Coast" look! ; )

I stamped the crab on a Shrinky Dink and cut it out with a circle Spellbinder's die. I had punched a hole in it before shrinking so I could tie it to my ribbon. I thought it was kind of a fun little accent!

I added a few rhinestones.....

Here is the set in its entirety! Cool right?

Be sure to visit the other designer's blogs for more projects using this fabulous set! Be sure to check back with me this weekend for more JustRite inspiration! Have a wonderful Friday my friends!

This is such an amazing card! I love the colors and those stamps are so fun! I have tried several virus programs and they always slowed the computer down so bad. I got the Viper (I think it's spelled differently) from HSN and it's the most amazing thing I have ever used. My 4 year old desktop is like brand new again! I thought I was going to have to buy a new one! It's wonderful!!!

I found working on a non-administrative account saved my computer bacon, my daughter's account was wiped out from clicking on iffy websites, so I deleted her account and set her up a new one and blocked that artsite lol.
